From a SELECT

Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

Occasionally, creating a table from a SELECT statement is very useful, copying the source table's data types and data.

// Create a new table from a source SELECT statement
create.createTable("book_archive")
      .as(select(BOOK.ID, BOOK.TITLE).from(BOOK))
      .execute();

// Create a new table from a source SELECT statement and specify that data should be included, explicitly
create.createTable("book_archive")
      .as(select(BOOK.ID, BOOK.TITLE).from(BOOK))
      .withData()
      .execute();

// Create a new table from a source SELECT statement and specify that data should be excluded, explicitly
create.createTable("book_archive")
      .as(select(BOOK.ID, BOOK.TITLE).from(BOOK))
      .withNoData()
      .execute();
